Hints

Making Players Suffer

If there is a player you dislike, do the following
to make him suffer. Go to "Features", then to
"Rosters". Select his team then choose the player
and go to "Attributes". Reduce his injury to "0".
This may take awhile; you may also want to set the
game to four or five minute quarters.

Injured Players

Go into the depth chart and switch an injured
player with the regular starter. They will act as
if they had no injury. For example, if you switch
Daunte Culpepper with Brad Johnson he can throw
and run just as well as he would without an injury.

Easy First Round First Pick

Use the following trick to get the first pick in
every round in the draft. First, turn off the
trade deadlines. Then, trade all of your picks
with the team with the worst record before the
wild card week. You will get all of their picks,
and if you have a good season, you can even trade
one of your picks for two of theirs.
Get your team in first place at a good record at
week 13 to 16. Try to get about twelve wins. Then,
go to "Standings" in "Play Week" to learn which
team is worst. Go to "Trade Player" and select
your first round pick. Go to the worst team and
select their first and second round picks. Next,
go to the second worst team and trade your second,
third and fourth picks for their first and fourth
round pick.

Increase Salary Cap

Use the following trick to increase your salary
cap by millions. This works with or without
fantasy draft. First, completely simulate the
draft (faster) or you can pick your players
yourself. Trade for all the players you want.
After satisfied with your team , have one extra
player in every position. Select a player, go to
"Edit Player", then to "Information". Go down to
position and change the players position. Then,
release the edited player. Resign the player (his
wanted salary is a lot cheaper). Do this to all
your players except the extra ones, which you
should get rid of. For an great FB, turn Jamal
Lewis (HB) into a FB. All line backers make good
DEs. Turn QBs into WRs (except M. Vick, who should
be turned into a FS). Turn HBs, FBs, and TEs into
MLBs. Turn all OL into DEs. Turn all DL into OL.
Turn all LBs into HBs. Turn all WRs into HBs. Turn
all DBs into WRs. WRs, SSs, FSs, and CBs, are
difficult to do this with trick. First, you have
to have them TEs for one year, then in the next
offseason turn them into LBs for a year. You can
then release them, resign them, then turn them
back to what you had them at originally.

Player Nickname

With a player named Troy Siegel (a drafted rookie
three seasons into a franchise), Al Micheals will
call him "Simian" in his commentary when he makes
a play.

Booth Review Under Two Minutes

When under two minutes in the second or fourth
quarter, when a play is questionable press RT + LT
when you return to the play selection screen.
Booth will then review the play most of the time
it is overturned.

Easy Training Camp Points

When on offense, select an offense with three
receivers. Trip Bunch in Single Back formation
works very well. Put the defense on goal line Zone
CB cover. By doing this, no one rushes your QB,
and once your receiver gets past the zone, they
are left unguarded in the endzone for a guaranteed
48 points per play almost all of the time. This
should work with most short zone coverages and
does not take many attempts to learn which
receiver to pick, mostly anyone running a long slant.

Recommended Defense

Pick a Nickel defense and go to Overstorm Brave.
When your defense goes to the line, move your
defensive line out, your linebackers in, and your
defensive backs in. Select any of the defensive
lineman or linebackers. This will work over 85% of
the time.

Touchdown On Goal Line

If you throw a touchdown pass and your receiver
catches it on the goal line and it is ruled a
touchdown, it will add a touchdown to your stats.
If the other coach challenges the touchdown and it
is called back and put on the inches line to the
goal, you will still have thrown and caught a
touchdown.

Easy 2 Points

After you score a touchdown, go for two. Select
the play "FB Run". Snap the ball, run up a little,
then dive into the endzone. Your fullback should
dive over the linemen and go into the endzone.
This works about 95% of the time.

Easy Sacks

Be a defensive lineman and back up a few feet.
When the play starts, immediately run forward and
hitsick an offensive lineman. He will fall down
and your person will still be running fast towards
the quarterback. Then, sack him.
Pause game play, then go to the settings. Go to
the penalties, then turn off offsides. You will
now be able to hold Run and never cross the line
of scrimmage. Grab a linebacker and set a new
record for sacks in a game.
Line up in the 4-3 defense and run the LOLB
Blitz, and use it every play. You
will get between five and ten sacks per game. This
is also a good way to develop young linebackers.
Go to the settings and turn off offsides. Get a
fast runner, go to the line of scrimmage, and keep
running. He will be running in place. When the QB
calls hike, he will run past the defenders and get
a sack. This works about 80% of the time.

Easy Blocked Field Goals And Punts

When playing against the CPU and it is a punt or
field goal situation, switch to the end player on
defense. If the opposing punt team is in a regular
punt formation, select punt block on defense. The
offense will adjust to a protection formation. If
not, this is easy. Before the last player makes
his adjustment, he puts his hands on his knees. If
you begin to charge at the kicker you should not
get a penalty if timed correctly. You will get an
extra jump on the kicker and should tackle him or
block the punt or field goal.

Onside Kicks

This trick works with any kicker. When you are
kicking off, select "Onside Kick" when the return
team is switching formation. When they are set,
take the power bar all the way to the top, but do
not select it. Bring it all the way down so that
the power is at 31. Next, make your accuracy 97 to
99. The ball will hit the ground and go up
straight up in the air every time. Have one of
your Kick Off that is close to the ball sprint
toward it. This makes all your players follow, and
you will get it every time.

Pump Up The Crowd

Before the snap on defense, click the Left
Analog-stick to pump up the crowd and make them
louder.

Easy "Complete 30 years of franchise mode" achievement

Use the following trick to complete 30 years of
franchise mode easily. First, start a new
franchise. When asked to pick your team to play
the franchise with, choose all of them. After
that, start your franchise but do not play any
games. First, simulate pre-season. Then, simulate
regular season and continue to do that until you
have unlocked an achievement (about years 2033 or
2034) and get your 400 points.

Punting

Due to the fact that the punt blockers do not like
to block very much, you should select the "Punt
Block" formation instead of any other punt return
formation. With the "Punt Block" formation, the
punting team will not be spread out, therefore
allowing your blockers to somewhat block for you;
which in turn will give you more time to field the
ball and have a little space to start something big.
